So, someone hacked Blogger, and now everyone using it needs to change their FTP passwords with their ISPs… Well done, responsible hacker/cacker/script kiddie, that’s so k00l. Fight the Power. Making it harder for individuals to post their opinions online is so anti-establishment, isn’t it. Way cool. Thankfully I stopped using Blogger some time ago, otherwise [...]
Well the last few days have been, as expected, a silly whirlwind of drinking, eating and drinking. To briefly recap: Spent Christmas Eve in the Railway pub in Penarth, most of which is a blur. Suffice is to say, Simon declined drinking in favour of driving, and so I woke up on Christmas morning at [...]
Went to see Lord of the Rings with Si, Dan and Tom tonight, and have to say it was awesome… the special effects were seamless and spectacular, the visuals stunning, the casting spot-on, the pace and attention to detail just right… we went for a drink afterwards and were all rather awestruck. An epic.
I’m off to Cardiff for Christmas now, so Merry Christmas to anyone reading this. I’ll be staying at Troy’s, so if you need to get hold of me, do it via him. Toodlepip!
Just a quick one tonight, as I’ve been out getting into the ‘Christmas spirit’ in Soho, and feel that the two slices of toast I’ve just munched are not sufficient to make me feel human at the meeting I have tomorrow morning.
Courtesy of the Tijuana Flats Burrito Company comes a list of the 15 hottest [...]
Okay, I’ve added a few bits to my wishlist at Amazon ‘cos Jon has been moaning on at me, saying that I had a one-track mind (web design books — Amazon doesn’t sell hardcore porn). And I’m pleased to report that two items have already been purchased from my list (I had a peek)!
Microsoft has released a cumulative patch for Internet Explorer which the firm says is a “critical” security precaution against crackers which should be applied “immediately”. If you’re using either IE5.5 SP2 or IE6 (and you probably are — that means you Simon!), you should go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/Q313675/default.asp and follow the instructions there. Now!
Well I’ve finally given in and set up my wishlist at Amazon. I’ve previously avoided Amazon because of what I consider to be their rather dodgy privacy practices (not to mention their attitude to patents). For example, from their site’s privacy statement (my comments in brackets, and emphasis added in bold):
We are committed to protecting [...]
Rob’s off for three weeks of snowboarding today, so here’s a little link especially for him… bon voyage!.
If you’ve yet to be convinced that the new Anti-Terrorism laws that the British government are trying to rush through are a scary, civil-liberty-violating crock of shit, have a read of this transcript of the Home Secretary trying to justify them. If this goes through, I suspect that the next thing will be an act [...]
Compaq and Microsoft aren’t two names that normally inspire a great deal of confidence when it comes to consumer products, but having spent most of Friday tinkering with an iPAQ PDA running MS PocketPC, I am pained to admit I was impressed. Setting it up to synch with a desktop PC via USB (although a [...]
I’m still tinkering with the PHP code for this page, and at the moment the page won’t validate as XHTML 1 Strict, due to a few naughty little form bits in the search/browse bit at the bottom. Bear with me, it will be fixed in the next few days…
Still, at least I got Troy — [...]
Been working non-stop all weekend on the forthcoming addition to Rent is Due. Should have it up on Tuesday…
